From Jim
“I am a second generation outfitter and have been around the outfitting and guiding business all my life, guiding full time since 2001. I am an certified Tenkara guide and an Orvis endorsed fly fishing guide. Based out of Hamilton, Montana. I discovered Tenkara when a good client of mine started bringing a Tenkara rod along on float trips. Tenkara is fun, easy and a big benefit in some situations. Seeing the benefits I became proficient in this technique. We offer Tenkara guided fly fishing trips that the focus on teaching our guests the various aspects of this simple form of fly-fishing. I now carry a Tenkara Rod with me on all my fishing and hunting trips. Tenkara is a great way start a beginner and offers seasoned anglers another tool. Our guided trips are put together for each individual angler or group. Montana is home to an amazing array of trout waters, big and small that are ideal for Tenkara. Whether walk & wade fishing a small stream or big waters from a boat to gain more access, Tenkara fly fishing is highly effective and fun.
